Princess
Sakura of Clow has a power deep within her. It is yet untapped, but it
promises the change the world. Her best friend, Syaoran, and
archaeologist, has just about finished unearthing a ruin and Sakura
feels something pulling her toward it one night. When her memory is
spread across different dimension by a mysterious power, Syaoran is sent
to the Time-Space Witch with an unconscious Sakura in his arms.
Meanwhile, in another dimension, in a country called Japan, Kurogane is
a ninja for the princess. But his ruthless ways and disregard for human
life, cause the princess to also send him to the Time-Space Witch so he
can, hopefully, learn not to kill every person that stands in this way.
On yet another dimension, in the country of Seresu, the Wizard of Seresu,
Fai D. Flowright, feels the need to leave and travel to other
dimensions. Upon his own will, he magically pops over to see the
Time-Space Witch. Together, these three unlikely adventurers begin a
journey together to seek out the lost memory of Princess Sakura which
has been scattered like feathers to multiple dimensions. Many dimensions
await them with many enemies. This is only the beginning . . .
Tsubasa:

Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 1
blew me away right from the beginning. The artwork by Clamp is excellent
and the translation flows perfectly. The English is very easily
understood and the storyline is explained well. All three of the main
characters are very interesting and readers will love them all. They
will love how Syaoran sacrifices any chance of having a relationship
with Sakura just so he can save her. They will enjoy the volatile temper
of Kurogane and his attempt to keep it all under control. The will also
like the cool head and wisdom of Fai. I read a lot of Manga books by Del
Rey, and this series has just jumped up into my top three (Negima! and
Basilisk are the other two). I am very excited about the action and
adventure that this series promises to have. I cannot wait to read more Tsubasa
books and see what dimensions these three adventurers will travel to. I
highly anticipate reading Tsubasa:
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE - Volume 2. I can barely contain myself. Pick up
a copy today, you will absolutely love it!
I rated
this book a 9½ out of 10. |
